Fri 13th (Barcelona)

Very early start for all, bet meant we had a couple of hours spare in the afternoon to hit the beach - i missed the picture of swimming in the sea

Sound check provided a chance to look at all the other band's kit, including LCD and PJ Harvey

The festival site in Barcelona was amazing. A huge space overlooking the sea. Here is the main stage (Lily Allen was on)

Bromheads played a stormer. The tent filled up nicely as the gig went on

Post gig we explored the site and had some beers - this is Chris, Bromheads sound tech

Chris and Jono love each other really

A bit later in the evening, Lily Allen arrived, looking for Bromheads insisting she was a huge fan and loved What If's & Maybes

And then an early night, ready for...

SAT 14TH - MADIRD

A nice leisurely wake up and trip to the airport.We shared a flight with Bloc Party, Guillemots, PJ Harvey, Lily Allen, The Hidden Cameras and various other bands, to which Jono took delight in making a comparison to Buddy Holly's last ever flight...

The Madrid venue was like being in the desert. 40oc = too hot.Here was their stage / airline hanger

And this was a roadie making the most of his sleeping space under the stage

Pre-gig

Mid-gig (during a shout to Mrs G to wish her a happy birthday)

Post-gig

As an aside, Chris and I were dancers for the Flaming Lips. This was amazing, expect we had to wear full santa outfits on stage for an hour, i nearly passed out

bromheads jacket ran a competition when they released the album last year called 'bromheads in your bedroom comp' basically meaning that if you won you could have them play in your house, or local pub, bar etc etc. my mate just won off the bromheads forum, no doubt he will have hundreds of pm's asking to come.
